NH town clerk found not guilty of theft resigns from post

LANCASTER, N.H. (AP) — A longtime northern New Hampshire town clerk who was found not guilty of stealing town funds says she's resigned from the job she held for 31 years, and police say additional theft charges are pending against her.

A judge last Monday found Sandy York not guilty of theft for allegedly stealing $100 from the town's daily cash receipts.

Dalton Police Chief Mario Audit told the Caledonian-Record (http://bit.ly/VtWPg2) that will soon be facing additional charges based on an audit of the town's books that revealed several accounting issues.

In her resignation letter, York said she can't work in a town office where the select board and police have "no faith in my integrity." She told the newspaper she didn't have any comment beyond her letter.
